This just in! A valiant young man on a major Wall Street trading desk is attempting, as we speak, the vaunted "Eat One of Everything From the Vending Machine Challenge"!!!
So far here is what the lad has eaten:
DONE:Special K bar,Wheat Thins, Oreo Snack cookies, Pop Corn (unpopped), Lays Potato Chips, Kit Kat, Gold Roll Pretzels,M&Ms Peanuts,Doritos,Almond Joy,Cheetos,Sun Chips Cheddar,Frito Lays Original,Cheez-It,Gold Gold Honey Wheat Braids,Fig Newtons,Oreo Cookies,Short Bread Cookies,Pop Tarts Strawberry, Famous Amos Chocolate Chips,Animal Crackers,Twizzlers,Snack Wells Crème Sandwich,Twix,Rice Krispy Treat
LEFT:M&Ms,Starburst,RugerWafers Chocolate,Ruger Wafers Vanilla,Snickers,3 Musketeers,Hershey Bar,Raisinets,Welch's Fruit Snacks,Skittles.
Our man on the scene reports that he just patted the young hero's belly and it sounded like a 55 gallon drum! We will keep you posted!! Oh, and you read it correctly. He ate the popcorn unpopped!
*Update. The Starbursts are down, but our hero found them stale and it unnerved him a bit. However, he's though the Starbursts and he has finished off the Hershey bar! 2:08 pm
**It's 2:38 and he is almost there! All he has left is M&Ms,Ruger WafersChocolate,Ruger Wafers Vanilla,
*** 3:27 MAN BEATS MACHINE!! The kid did it. In less than 4 hours he consumed 9,642 calories.
excellent idea RP!

Wow, I think I am going to man up for the challenge in the near future.
How about an official MB eating challenge every month? I'll propose the first contest, perhaps someone will do it.
64 oz giardiniera, 30 min

I would hate to know the saturated and unsaturated fat content of that challenge. 9642 calories, SOB better get on the treadmill and not get off until Monday.

yes he did RP. Our man on the scene reported that he did it with a flourish too. He lined up 5 blue m&ms and popped them in his mouth one at a time smiling the whole way.
If he just waited till monday it would have been on the 40th anniversary of the lunar landing!
